Download or read book Ernest Renan written by Richard McClain Chadbourne and published by New York : Twayne Publishers. This book was released on 1968 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The order of presentation, through Chapter 4, is roughly chronological. The amount of space given to the analysis of his youthful works (Chapters 1-4) is justified by the fact that he is one of those authors whose major ideas and themes, a long-time ripening, are constantly being hinted at or foreshadowed in his early writings, before finding their happiest expression in his maturity. In Chapters 5-8 the treatment is more thematic than chronological. In Chapter 5, chronology is discarded in order to survey the whole of Renan's major historical work. This is the central chapter, just as history was Renan's central and most revealing accomplishment. The writing of history for him, while retaining its claim to be partly a science, which examines an object of knowledge distinct from the self, is also a means of expressing his own personal dialectic, through what becomes a kind of symbol of his inner world. Of his essay collections little is said in this book, taking the liberty of referring the reader to Ernest Renan as an Essayist. Chapter 6 does contain, however, a discussion of his political (in the broadest sense) essays and speeches, though from a different point of view than that taken in my earlier book. Chapters 7 and 8 analyze his other major productions-philosophical dialogues and dramas, and autobiography-in such a way as to reveal how they grow out of youthful roots.

Download or read book The Idea of Semitic Monotheism written by Guy G. Stroumsa and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Idea of Semitic Monotheism examines some major aspects of the scholarly study of religion in the long nineteenth century—from the Enlightenment to the First World War. It aims to understand the new status of Judaism and Islam in the formative period of the new discipline. Guy G. Stroumsa focuses on the concept of Semitic monotheism, a concept developed by Ernest Renan around the mid-nineteenth century on the basis of the postulated and highly problematic contradistinction between Aryan and Semitic families of peoples, cultures, and religions. This contradistinction grew from the Western discovery of Sanskrit and its relationship with European languages, at the time of the Enlightenment and Romanticism. Together with the rise of scholarly Orientalism, this discovery offered new perspectives on the East, as a consequence of which the Near East was demoted from its traditional status as the locus of the Biblical revelations. This innovative work studies a central issue in the modern study of religion. Doing so, however, it emphasizes the new dualistic taxonomy of religions had major consequences and sheds new light on the roots of European attitudes to Jews and Muslims in the twentieth century, up to the present day.
Download or read book The Gospel According to Renan written by Robert D. Priest and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel According to Renan provides a new and holistic interpretation of one of the non-fiction sensations of the nineteenth century: Ernest Renan's Life of Jesus (Vie de Jésus). Published in 1863, Renan's book aroused enormous controversy through its claim to be a historically accurate biography of Jesus. While Life of Jesus provoked the ire of the Catholic Church in hundreds of sermons and pamphlets, it also sold hundreds of thousands of copies, making a fortune for its author and his publisher. Based on research into a huge range of print and manuscript sources, The Gospel According to Renan demonstrates how Renan's work intervened in a remarkable range of debates in nineteenth-century French cultural life. These went far beyond questions of religion, from the role of individuals in history to the meaning and significance of 'race'. Through an engaging reconstruction of Renan's intellectual formation, Priest shows how Renan's ideas grew out of the context of Parisian intellectual life after his loss of faith in the 1840s. Going beyond a traditional intellectual history, Priest uses a wide range of new manuscript sources, many of which have never been examined by modern historians, in order to reconstruct the ways that ordinary French men and women engaged with one of the great religious debates of their age. By tracing the legacy of Life of Jesus into the early years of the twentieth century, Priest finally shows how Renan's work found new political meaning in the heated debates over secularisation that divided French society in the young Third Republic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernest Renan was one of the leading lights of the Parisian intellectual scene in the second half of the nineteenth century. A philologist, historian, and biblical scholar, he was a prominent voice of French liberalism and secularism. Today most familiar in the English-speaking world for his 1882 lecture “What Is a Nation?” and its definition of a nation as an “everyday plebiscite,” Renan was a major figure in the debates surrounding the Franco-Prussian War, the Paris Commune, and the birth of the Third Republic and had a profound influence on thinkers across the political spectrum who grappled with the problem of authority and social organization in the new world wrought by the forces of modernization. What Is a Nation? and Other Political Writings is the first English-language anthology of Renan’s political thought. Offering a broad selection of Renan’s writings from several periods of his public life, most previously untranslated, it restores Renan to his place as one of France’s major liberal thinkers and gives vital critical context to his views on nationalism. The anthology illuminates the characteristics that distinguished nineteenth-century French liberalism from its English and American counterparts as well as the more controversial parts of Renan’s legacy, including his analysis of colonial expansion, his views on Islam and Judaism, and the role of race in his thought. The volume contains a critical introduction to Renan’s life and work as well as detailed annotations that assist in recovering the wealth and complexity of his thought.
